Blueberry Brunch Cake - Secret Recipe Club

So, it's Secret Recipe Club time again, and I see that I haven't posted anything since the last time. Hmmm. I think I know the reason why (again). It's because I'm in one of those "fix the usual, standard things and don't try anything new because I don't have time" moods. We're eating well - I've had a lot of freezer meals to eat, as well as all kinds of other meals. We've even eaten out a couple of times. Most recently we enjoyed an evening at Olive Garden. I just love the salad there.

My assigned blog for this month was My Judy the Foodie. Shari's blog is a memorial to her mother Judy - who clearly was a cook just like my mother. There are so many similarities between the two. It's been interesting to see how a self-proclaimed "NYC carryout junkie" has described her journey through her mother's cookbooks and recipes.

I almost made Judy's Garlic Chicken as my SRC recipe - and it HAS been added to my "must do" list, but I ended up making Blueberry Brunch Cake this morning for breakfast. It's made with ingredients I always have around - even the blueberrries (I used frozen ones) - and Don loves all kinds of coffee cakes.

This one was definitely a hit. The batter was really thick - yet the cake itself was not a dense as I thought it would be. I loved the crunchy top, too.
